#8 BeTrayed
download software "John Foster" website screenshot
John Foster
BeTrayed! is a small 32 bit command line utility which allows you to easily add a collection of shortcuts to the System Tray (Notification Area in Microsoft speak) It allows you to quickly access frequently used folders, files, URLs and applications - even though they were never designed to be launched from the Tray.

For maximum flexibility, BeTrayed! functions in two modes, either single command mode or, more usually, in Batch mode where it adds multiple icons to the Tray, all managed by one instance of BeTrayed! - in both modes, you specify the command to launch and, optionally, the tooltip text to show and an alternative icon. If not specified, the tooptip defaults to the command line and the icon to the default icon contained in the file (or if there isn't one, the one for the associated application)

For instance, to add a single icon to the System Tray to launch Calc, you could use:

BeTrayed c:windowssystem32calc.exe,Calculator

This would create a new Tray icon (with the default icon from Calc.exe), which would show a tooltip of 'Calculator'

In batch mode, the parameter passed to BeTrayed! is actually the name of a text file containing the individual command lines. To use Batch mode with BeTrayed!, simple pass BeTrayed! the name of the controlling text file, prefixed with "/batch:" ie.

BeTrayed /batch:Standard.tray

BeTrayed! would now look for a file called 'Standard.tray' - which would contain a list of appropriate commands, ie.

;Sample BeTrayed! batch mode control file
; Anything beginning with a semi-colon is a comment!
; Windows Calc using default Calc.exe icon
c:windowssystem32calc.exe,Windows Calculator
; Users shared area via UNC path, using custom icon.
\JBFDataUsersShared,User Shared Area,sa.ico
; Launch URL with default browser (using 3rd icon in browser exe)
http://www.mycompanyintranet.com/PhoneDir.html,Contact List,3

From the above 'Standard.tray' file, 3 icons would be added to the Tray.

#20 SmartStartMenu

PlanetHarrington
If you ever use the 'Start' menu then you will find that this free Windows utility is a much better way to open the item that you are looking for. SmartStartMenu helps you to turn the task of running any program and opening any documnent, folder, or website into a two or three key-stroke effort. SmartStartMenu uses what you type to generate "on-the-fly" alphabetized lists of shortcut items from your 'Start' menu and any other folders you have configured to be scanned. Since SmartStartMenu is based on shortcuts (your 'Start' menu is just a collection of shortcuts) there is no "alias" database to maintain or complicated configuration interface to learn. You can change the keystrokes used to access an item by modifying the shortcut directly. SmartStartMenu helps you to clean up your desktop and 'Quicklaunch' toolbar by reducing your dependencies on them. SmartStartMenu helps you to reduce clutter on your taskbar by elimintating the need for the 'Address' toolbar. SmartStartMenu can also be used like the 'Run' command. With a little tweaking of your 'Start' menu you can configure ANY program, document, folder, or website to be opened by any two or three letter key-stroke that you want. To use SmartStartMenu you simply type a few letters of criteria and then select the list item that you want to open (or just press the 'Enter' key if the item is already selected) and the item is started just as if you had selected it from the 'Start' menu. It is actually VERY simple. With SmartStartMenu you can type commands like "control" or "notepad c:mydocument.doc", path names such as "c:Program Files" or "\COMPUTERNAME1share1", and web site addresses like as "www.planetharrington.com".

slimCODE
slimKEYS is a universal hotkey manager with a plug-in system that lets you perform an infinite number of actions simply by pressing system-wide hotkeys. It already comes with multiple built-in plug-ins:

slimLAUNCH lets you open applications, documents or folders, or search for password entries stored securely, or open your del.icio.us posts simply by typing a few letters of their name or by directly assigning them specific hotkeys.

slimSIZE lets you resize or move windows to any monitor and location just by pressing a hotkey.

slimSEARCH helps you search on popular search engines, or any other Web site of your choice.

slimVOLUME changes and displays the current volume level every time you use your multimedia keyboard controls, or any other hotkey you wish.

slimSMOKE dims out your whole desktop except the active application, so it's easier to see which application has the focus, and concentrate on the window that needs your attention. You can even highlight the active window's border.

slimGRAB lets you capture an image of any screen, top-level or child window or any area, by browsing target areas with keys or drawing a rectangle. You can copy the capture to the clipboard, save it to file or post it on TwitPic.

slimZOOM can zoom in on any portion of your screens, and display the result in a window, on a single monitor, or on your whole display. You can move the zoomed area around, draw on the screen, work with a snapshot or in live mode, and more.

slimPASTE allows you to strip any formatting out of text you paste.

Quick WoW Launcher enables you to run World of Warcraft faster on slower machines by first stopping unnecessary Windows services in the background and then launching your World of Warcraft client.

You can choose which services to stop and view the services that are already stopped. These options can be saved so that the next time you run Quick WoW Launcher, it will automatically stop the selected services and launch the WoW program faster.

#34 Dockter
download software
OneButtonApps
Only running apps

Be more productive without the distraction of non-running application icons in the dock.

Why do we need to see the icons of apps that are not in use?

Dockter gets out of the way by even removing itself from the dock after it has done its thing.
Launching apps?

How to launch applications with this minimal dock? Commandline? No. Luckily there are good alternative launchers that do not clutter the screen.

There?s plenty of options available for free, Spotlight, Google Desktop Search, QuickSilver or my personal favorite Sapiens which is not free but worth the investment...etc.
Simple to use

While you can accomplish the same thing running by typing commands in the the Terminal, Dockter is just a 1 click app.

Dockter simply toggles a build in but hidden preference of Mac OS X Leopard.

Running Dockter again reverses the previous process. So it's easy to undo the effect and restore the dock.
